<br />
The blog I mean. I finally decided to break out the big guns and combine all my stuff. No more hopping around. The site is still under construction but it's a start. I will share bits of our life living with cystic fibrosis. I hope to raise awareness for my daughters illness so that one day she can say "I'm Cured!!" I will share our simple life full of love, chaos and chickens.<br />

Need I say any more?!<br />
<br />
I guess I will so you know how it went. Let's just say this trip has been my favorite one so far. I say so far because we WILL go back. Again, and again.... and again. I was thinking about it the other day how many times we have been since we were married. Because that's when the obsession <i>really</i> started.<br />
2007- the year we were married. We went for our honeymoon.<br />
2008- we went for our one year anniversary.<br />
2009- we skipped this year because we had a baby.<br />
2010- I was barely pregnant with Claire, we were only going to go to the beach for our third year anniversary(without Kael).... but we couldn't resist, so we snuck over for a day. And on the plus side we met some friends who just happened to be vacationing there at the same time.<br />
2011- we went twice this year. Once for our four year anniversary (see a trend) and then we decided to go a second time right before Kael turned 3 because it would be the last time he would be free.<br />
<br />
We've been too broke and busy to go in any year following. But I have been dying to go and just dreaming of the day we would get to go again. Disneyland is definitely not a cheap trip. We have been extremely blessed that we have been able to go as many times as we have. Some.... ok lots of people think we are weird because we love Disneyland sooooo much. I don't know what it is about it but every time we have gone it's been a very different experience, and every time it's been.... well, magical.<br />
<br />
People also think I'm crazy for taking a baby. I've done this twice now. It's actually a good time to take them. It's really not as bad as people would think. You don't have to worry about buying them anything-food, toys, ect. They don't want to run away. It's great and low key.<br />
<br />
Here's just a few of my tips that I've learned:<br />
#1. If you are going and have a baby. Take them before they are mobile. No crawling, or new walkers. If they are 'immobile' then they are happy to just hang out in a baby carrier most of the time. You can take them on any ride that doesn't have a height requirement. And they sleep better while being held too. It was super easy and not a hassle at all to have the babies there and with them in the carrier you still have your hands and arms free. They don't require much. They are still at a stage that they don't require a ton of entertainment, and the only food you need it your boobs, (or bottle stuff.) You can keep it super low key. Just a few blankets, binkie, diapers, and a spare outfit. (you know, for that explosion that always seems to happen at the most inconvenient time.)<br />
<br />
#2. Get a stroller pass!!!! This was so awesome. We have used them every time we've taken the kids and they make life at Disneyland so much easier. Seriously a life saver. This year Kael was tall enough to go on ALL the rides except I think 3, but Claire and Molly weren't, obviously. What's a stroller pass? It's for this specific problem. When not all of the family is tall enough to go on the rides. How it works.... We had our family of five and then three other adult family members who joined us. So we would split up and most of us would go on the ride and when they would go thru the line they would ask a cast member for a stroller pass. Then they would go on the ride and bring back the 'stroller pass'. They are good for three people. Then any three people would take the pass to the cast member and you would either get right on thru a different entrance or you would go thru the fast pass line. Something they have been doing is asking you to show the kid(s) who can't go on the ride before they will give you the first pass, then you go thru the line and get the second and the official pass. It saved us so much time from having to wait in line twice.<br />
<br />
#3. If you don't mind if your group doesn't ride ALL together get in the single rider lane. This was awesome too. The new ride in cars land has this line. And if you get in the regular line plan on waiting close to 2hrs. We used the single rider line and waited a combined total of about 20 minutes from start to finish for our group!! How did we accomplish this? The first people who went were the three adults and they got a stroller pass. Then they went thru the single rider line and waited ten minutes. They got lucky and ended riding all together. Then we switched, Chase, Kael and I took the stroller pass and they took us to the handicap entrance where we got right on. We finished the ride and met back with our group. Not all rides have the single rider line, but use it if you can. We wouldn't have gone thru the single rider line with Kael because he's too young to ride ALL by himself with a bunch of strangers. But if you have older kids who don't mind riding alone, this line is awesome and well worth the time you save.<br />
<br />
#4. Spend at least 3 days at the Disneyland Parks. This is the perfect amount. This last time we would have totally spent longer, because we were having so much fun. If you spend three days there it gives you enough time to hit all the rides and shows without running around like a crazy person. You could do it in two days but you really have to plan well and not skip around and you still might not hit everything. That extra day really makes a difference. We were able to hit our favorite rides multiple times and we weren't rushing to the next thing. We were able to just take our time and enjoy the fun memories. And that will lead me to my next tip.<br />
<br />
#5. Save your character meetings for the third day. You will, most likely be standing in line for a while to meet characters. And they only allow so many people in the lines for the characters that wander around. My suggestion is first thing, on the third day, is go straight to the royal hall. Where you meet the princesses. There is a mix of a few different ones. This would be the best way to meet several princesses at once. Then thru out the day take the time to watch for characters in their 'special' spots and get in line quick. It worked out so great to do this the third day because the kids were able to meet enough characters to make them happy. They weren't interested in meeting every character so you don't spend all day doing this but it makes it less hectic.<br />
<br />
#6. Pack little things to do while standing in line. I had little bubbles and snack necklaces for the day. And then glow sticks for the evening. The bubbles would keep them entertained, and the kids around them, while standing in those long boring lines. The snack necklaces were great so they weren't constantly asking for food and I wouldn't have to dig in the stroller or diaper bag for something. We bought glow stick wands and swords at the dollar store before we left. They sell light up stuff at night, but they are super pricey, so the glow sticks would keep my kids happy and they wouldn't ask for disney light up stuff. Good for me and my wallet.<br />
<br />
#7. Go during off season during the middle of the week for the least crowds. For us we have learned that the best time to go is that first week in March because that's when our anniversary is. But anytime during off season will work. One down side is, that a couple of the major attractions are closed because this is when they do maintenance on them. So you just have to decide if you are ok missing the ones they have closed.<br />
<br />
#8. My final tip would be. Just RELAX. Disney has gone out of their way to make this experience a good one. They are very friendly, almost always. We are all human so we aren't perfect. But if you lose something, big or small, go to lost and found and they will help you out the best they can. There was a lady who's son lost his shoe. So they tried to see if someone turned it in at lost and found. They gave them a voucher to buy a new pair of shoes so that her son wouldn't be barefoot. If something happens don't freak out. Talk to a cast member and they will help you work out whatever to the best of their ability. Disneyland is full of magic, be polite and relax, and you are sure to have the best time.<br />
<br />
Those are my few tips. Now on to the pictures.<br />

This has a cute little story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were sitting outside of the entrance of space mountain ride after eating lunch. We had just taken a potty break with the kids and as I was walking back. Chip (or I think it was Dale) came over to Molly to 'play'. I was by far my favorite memory because he just sat at played with her for a good ten minutes or so. She loved it! I thought she would be afraid but she loved him and kept grabbing at his nose. </div>

Disneyland is our favorite vacation. We have always had a great time there, but this one was special because all the kids were experiencing something for the first time. Kael got to ride the big rides, Claire's dreams came true when she got to meet her favorite characters and Molly was on her very first disney trip. Even though they are young and won't remember much, I feel so lucky that we were able to make the trip happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Till next time Disneyland..... hopefully it won't be too long until we meet again.</div>

Between sickies, Disneyland, homework, and work-work. Seems having down time doesn't happen too frequently. We decided last minute that we were going to go to Disneyland with the kids. Figured it would be the last opportunity for a while before we could all go again. You know, since Chase is trying to get into medical school and all. It was a blast!! One of the best trips we've had and we almost didn't go. The kids got sick.... Each one with something different. Kael had Croup, Claire got two different flu bugs and Molly got a cold/cough that came with a really high fever, no appetite and an ear infection. First Kael and Claire got sick and I had Molly on 'lock down' where NO ONE with sickie germs could be by her. I was a crazy nut case for a week. If I was helping my barfing daughter I wouldn't touch Molly until I de-contaminated myself. For reals.... I was a nut. But I just didn't want her getting sick..... and I didn't want to tell my children the bad news of a cancelled Disneyland trip because Molly was sick. But alas, Molly got sick anyways. And just days before we were supposed to leave. We were so lucky that we were able to get a CF clinic visit or else we definitely wouldn't have gone. Once she was on some antibiotics for her pesky ear infection, she started feeling a ton better. I'll post later on that trip.... but lets just say it was awesome.<br />
<br />
I was really worried this time when Molly was sick. I thought for sure we would end up in the hospital. Her fever just got really bad, and then the fact that she wasn't eating well, didn't help either. She lost quite a bit of weight but that is also partly because her enzymes have decided to quit working for her. We are currently trying a bunch of different things but not much seems to be helping. The insurance won't approve the new enzymes the doctor wants to put her on so we have been battling that too.<br />
<br />
Just a constant battle.<br />
<br />
It sucks.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've tried preparing myself for this but can you ever really be prepared for Lemons?<br />
<br />
I mean you can try, but sometimes I wonder if it even helps. One of my goals for this year was to try and simplify. So that I could eliminate unnecessary stress. I'm failing miserably. I was dumb and thought I was ready to go back to school. So I signed up... only part-time... but still. I really thought it wasn't going to add stress..... idiot.<br />
<br />
Ha ha, oh well. I really am enjoying my classes but I feel guilty when I'm away from my kids. And I'm not able to put 100% into my classes because I have a BABY with CF.<br />
<br />
Babies take up so much of your time and then you throw in a chronic illness and finding time for anything extra just gets harder.<br />
<br />
The battles will never end. It will never get easier.<br />
<br />
I had a thought a while ago. I think I've heard this saying somewhere..... or maybe I made it up..... probably not, I'm not that smart. Ha ha.<br />
<br />
Struggles don't get easier, you just get stronger.<br />
<br />
I really do believe this to be true. Especially now. Hardships definitely do not get easier, but it seems that we become stronger as we battle on and push forward.<br />
<br />
This year I've had a running theme. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I've always liked this saying but for some reason it's really been tuggin on my heart strings. When I get stressed or worried or dealing with some kind of battle, I think of this saying and it helps me stay positive. It helps me stay strong.<br />
<br />
I life isn't going to get easier. And there will always be lemons thrown my way. Life is rude like that. Doesn't it know that throwing fruit is just not nice? Rudeness.<br />
<br />
So let's all turn our lemons into lemonade. Stay thirsty my friends..... Cause I got a crap load a lemons headed my way.<br />

Not because I'm sick.<br />
Or have a chronic illness.<br />
<br />
It's a combination of things. But mostly panic... and dread.<br />
<br />
It's hard to make friends in the CF community.<br />
Not because I don't like people. (which I don't sometimes)<br />
Or because there aren't many people to connect with.<br />
<br />
It's mostly because when you reach out or get to know these amazing people and you learn of their struggles and share similar trials. You start to care for them, and fear for them. And you get slapped in the face with the harsh reality of cystic fibrosis.<br />
<br />
It's a harsh reality.<br />
<br />
Since Molly was diagnosed I wanted to connect with other people in the CF community. So I searched and read stories and cried.... A LOT. So I stopped.<br />
<br />
It was too hard. I couldn't deal with it.<br />
I would panic and cry at what was happening to kids only months older than Molly and fear for them. And fear for Molly's future. So I took a break and I had my family members with CF and they would be my community until I got stronger.<br />
<br />
I still cry every time I try to reach out and be apart of the CF community. It makes me so sad. I know there is so much happiness. Don't think that it's this horrible depressing thing. There are so many positive and great things. I look forward to meeting and connecting with more people.<br />
<br />
But it's hard. You need to be strong.<br />
<br />
I'm not.<br />
<br />
Not today.<br />
<br />
I'm a hot mess.<br />
<br />
I'm struggling, daily, to be able to just breath.<br />
<br />
The older she gets the more I fear for her. I want her to stay little forever. Little and perfect and healthy.<br />
<br />
We had a cf appointment and Molly's doing ok. Not great, but ok. Her enzymes seem to not be working for her any more. So we decided to switch to a different type and see if this will fix the problem.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, while we wait for the insurance to approve the new enzymes, she will continue taking the ones she is already on. But like I said they don't seem to be working all that great for her anymore. So she is dealing with all that awesome upset tummy stuff. Bloated, spitting up, just pure awesomeness.<br />
And because it seems to be going right threw her, she is starving all the time.<br />
She's a joy to be around right now. But would you be a happy camper? I know I wouldn't be.<br />
<br />
<br />
And so we wait, and pray, and try other things to see if we can keep her happy and healthy.<br />
<br />
And just keep trying to Breath.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06291215256274004533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509358122771296088.post-10978287764076460502014-02-07T07:00:00.000-07:002014-03-14T17:25:20.020-07:00I want to be strong like Claire<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought this year was going to be better......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well things don't seem to be going in that direction....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I welcomed 2014 with open arms. I was ready for the past year to be over and behind me. To quote a friend..."Be nice to us 2014." This was exactly what my heart was screaming. The past year seemed to be one full of trials not only for myself, but for many of my friends as well. Miscarriages, death, chronic illness, divorce, addiction.... just to name a few. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had high hopes for you 2014....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then the feeling of impending doom crept in.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was released from my church calling and was quite dissappointed. I loved it and I was finally getting the hang of it. But I was fine. When they released me, I was told they weren't going to give me a calling right away. Give me a little 'break' since I just had a baby. I was like, hmmm ok, that sounds nice. But then I thought about it some more and wondered why?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Impending doom..... remember. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this feeling like I was being given a 'break' because this year was going to be another hard one. And I panicked!!! I was letting it consume me and it was ridiculous because it was all just in my head. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when I had my <a href="http://chaseshalyse.blogspot.com/2012/10/healing.html" target="_blank">last miscarriage</a> I got the same feeling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe I have super powers and I can see the future, Bahahaha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If only I could've seen what was coming.... If only.</div>

Every parents worst nightmare.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you ever had that feeling of your life going in slow motion, as you watch the horrors occurring right in front of you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was me today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I watched, in slow motion, my daughter run in front of a moving truck and her tiny body get smashed by it's front fender and then fly about ten feet scraping the pavement as she went. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My insides screaming at the nightmare that just happened. My brain accusing my eyes of being liars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't stop it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why couldn't this be just another horrible dream that I would soon wake up from?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was all such a blur. At yet so vivid at the same time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm just <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">so</u> grateful that she's ok. It could have easily been so much worse.... but it wasn't. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were kids all outside playing in the front yards. We were watching the kids, standing right there. We had just talked about how our kids freak us out when they try to bolt into the street. A few got yelled at and threatened for trying to attempt it. In that moment we were getting ready to go inside, then I watched Claire go for the street. I screamed... STOP!! But is was too late. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to run to block it and turn away from watching at the same time. I couldn't stop her from being hit. I couldn't watch her body get smashed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I heard the loud thump and watched her body get rocked by the blow. I watched helplessly while she skid across the asphalt just imagining the injuries this tiny person could be sustaining. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was one of the worst things I have ever witnessed in my entire life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ran to her and scooped her in my arms..... I shouldn't have moved her.... but my brain was still trying to catch up and process all that had just happened. I felt like a chicken with it's head cut off, running around in circles not knowing what to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All my mind could come up with was....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHAT SHOULD I DO?!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finally think.... 'call 911!' and 'put her down, stupid, you shouldn't have moved her'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I set her down in the grass. Her eyes roll back and she's trying so hard to focus. You can tell she is so dizzy and rocked. I see a mark forming on her head. I scream at the house call 911! I lay Claire back and run to the door and scream inside call 911! I hear my friend yelling the same thing. She's already on it. I go back to Claire and the driver is by her. We are a hot mess and looking Claire over trying to see if she's bleeding or misshapen in any way. I fear she's laying there dying. The driver just starts sobbing.... I know she's thinking the same thing. We are both sobbing. I grab her and hug her and tell her it's not her fault. It's going to be ok. She hugs me back and we cry... waiting. A policemen on a motorcycle pulls up. It seem like hours but only seconds have passed since the accident. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More people show up. A lot is going on. A lot happened all at once. They checked her. She's just screaming and clinging to me, saying I don't want to see a doctor. She seems ok other than a few bumps. The ambulance shows up. They say there is no major urgency if we would like to just take her in ourselves. My brain is screaming at me HOW CAN SHE BE OK?! I just look around at the people surrounding me not knowing what to do or say. After more discussion I finally decide to take her in myself. Everyone makes sure I'm ok and they pack up and are gone in a flash. The police stay and take my statement. I'm holding a still screaming Claire. Chase shows up. He was working and I didn't think he would be able to get off, but he was there. In fact, I didn't even know he was called. He takes Claire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The driver comes over and we cling to each other and sob. We are so glad that she's ok. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are both mom's who just experienced a mother's worst nightmare together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so grateful that she was the driver. That she was paying attention. That she was driving slow because of all the kids. That she was able to slam on her breaks fast enough. That she was so kind and caring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We gave Claire a priesthood blessing and then took her to the ER so she could get her head scanned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She ate and drank and watched cartoons. She bossed the nurses and doctors around... "check my heartbeat" "check my eyes"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The scan came back ok.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are home and safe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has a bump on her face right by her eye and a few small scratches and bruises. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It could have been so much worse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel so blessed that it wasn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still so amazed at how little she walked away with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm still in shock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm still crying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm hoping that this will be the last that 2014 will throw at us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for my sanity and for my children,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
please let this be the worst of it.</div>

I've learned the importance of raising awareness. If nobody knows about it, then how can you receive or give help? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Growing up with cousins who had cystic fibrosis was an easy way for me to become 'aware' of the illness. And now that my own daughter has it, I am even more 'aware' and I have an even greater desire to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cancer seems to be something almost EVERYBODY knows about. I've lost <i><b>so</b></i> many.... too many, friends to this awful killer. Each one was different. Each 'Killer' was different and I became aware of them because they had taken someone from me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hate cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But..... I have learned the importance of <b>awareness</b>, and what a <i>powerful</i> tool this can be to even just one person. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have friends who have beat the odds with cancer. Because someone, started raising awareness, at one point. And through that more people started learning and helping and saving. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the cystic fibrosis community I have personally seen the changes and progress awareness has helped create. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently became 'aware' of a different type of cancer I knew nothing about. I would like to share one survivor's beautiful story of hope. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her name is Heather. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 2005, at the age 36, and only 3 months after giving birth to her daughter, she was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. She knew she needed to find a way to beat the odds for her husband and newborn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Asbestos is not banned in the US, yet it’s the only known cause of mesothelioma. Once diagnosed, most patients die within 2 years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">It has been almost eight years and she has dedicated her life to spreading awareness of this awful 'killer.'</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please take a moment and <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/heather/#.Uq_wUCg1zEY" target="_blank">click here</a> to watch a short clip on her story..... Help us raise awareness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Help us share hope.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With hope, the odds don't matter.</div>

Wait?! What?!!Yes that's right, I'm grateful for my daughter's disease that I despise with every fiber of my being. Makes no sense right? <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I had a really crappy appointment with Molly's CF Specialist this past friday. She seems to be doing ok but her weight gain was only and ounce and a half. Booooo. They aren't too worried about it but that wasn't even the tip of the scale this time. Remember how in my last post I mentioned my worry about insurance not covering her medications? Well.... So it begins. I've been using samples that they have been giving me and haven't needed to fill any perscriptions yet. Except her inhaler. She has been starting to get super 'rattly' in her lungs. Not horrible. But just more noticeable. I mentioned this to the Doc. She decided to be proactive and start her on pulmozyme. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a little info:</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Pulmozyme</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><sup>®</sup></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">is an inhaled medication used to treat the symptoms of cystic fibrosis (CF). It helps thin the mucus in the lungs so people can cough it out more easily.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Pulmozyme, along with other CF therapies, improve lung function in people with CF. Taking Pulmozyme every day has also been shown to reduce the risk of lung (respiratory) infections.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
Pulmozyme acts like “scissors” in the mucus. It cuts up the DNA strands outside the cell that can make CF mucus thick and sticky. This DNA is from the white blood cells that work to fight lung infections. Even if a person with CF has not had a lung infection, the white blood cell DNA is still in the mucus.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: 19px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
So a 'typical' CF treatment goes like this:</div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">1. Bronchodilator - like albuterol inhaler<br />2. Mucus thinning medicines, like Pulmozyme<br />3. Airway clearance-like chest percussions<br />4. Inhaled antibiotics</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
Pulmozyme is something that is going to be part of her survival in life. Even with this drug, CF will continue to damage her lungs but this drug helps extend the health of her lungs. Well.... my insurance doesn't cover it. They don't even cover the machine (nebulizer/compressor) in order for her to take the drug. They also don't cover her vitamins. Common seriously. Vitamins people!!! I'm waiting to hear back to see if I get my 'special' approval. These are things she needs to survive. These things are not optional, and they aren't covered!!! This is wrong, and it's only the beginning. I.... We are going to be constantly battling 'the system' trying to get the things she needs for survival. </div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
As I was sitting there in the parking garage of the hospital, having just left their pharmacy empty handed, I just sat and cried. I was being slapped in the face, again, with the reality of CF. Its such an ugly, horrible, cow pie and bologna sandwich, stupid disease. I drove home with this dark cloud full of thunder and lightening, just hovering over me. How? What? How? Why? When? Why? What the heck? So many things storming in my mind. </div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
Wait.... And your grateful for CF?!</div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
Why yes I am! Let me tell you why. </div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0em; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: normal;">
I teach Relief Society in my ward and it was my week to teach. I had been going over my lesson but had been struggling with where to go with it. So I kept putting off writing it up. Saturday, I decided instead of staying home and working on my lesson I would go help my friend who was in desperate need. I love this girl. Seriously. She's an amazing mom and friend. She has some major trials going on and I was ever so happy to go and help, even just a little. I left her house that night feeling on top of the world. Serving had put some of my broken pieces of me back together. And what do you know... That's what my lesson was on. Doing good in the world. Serving one another spreads happiness. It makes the person your are serving happy and in turn it makes you happy. We get so wrapped up in ourselves sometimes and forget that the best way to be happy is by serving others. </div>

We should have before us a strong desire to do good to others. Never mind so much about ourselves. Good will come to us all right if we keep our minds outside of ourselves to a certain extent, and try to make others happier and draw them a little nearer to the Lord. … When you find yourselves a little gloomy, look around you and find somebody that is in a worse plight than yourself; go to him and find out what the trouble is, then try to remove it with the wisdom which the Lord bestows upon you; and the first thing you know, your gloom is gone, you feel light, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, and everything seems illuminated. -Teachings of Lorenzo Snow, Chapter 22</div>
So what does this have to do with CF? I would've never learned this lesson if it wasn't<br />
<br />
<br />
for my daughter's CF. I would have never noticed the difference in my happiness or how to get my broken pieces back together if it wasn't for the experience I had at the hospital the day before. I am being forced to grow, wether I like it or not, and it's because of my children. The Lord is working through them. Especially my sweet little Molly. I am grateful for Molly because she is a major blessing in my life and I wouldn't want her to be any different than she is now.<br />
<br />
So yes..... I am grateful for Cystic Fibrosis.<br />

October is one of my favorite months. In fact it's my favorite time of year, because it is the start of my 3 favorite holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!! We find ourselves so busy with friends, family and festivities, a few of my favorite things. The munchkins are at an age where they are starting to like playing all sorts of games and are understanding the 'rules' of how to play. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For family night this week we taught them how to play Sorry. I am the running champion in our family. Chase hates this game because he rarely wins. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bwahaha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kael loved it, because he can recognized his numbers and counting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mr. Smarty Pants is loving pre-school and all that he is learning, so any opportunity he gets to show off his skills is fun for him. </div>

Claire just liked landing on the arrows so she could slide her pieces and she was good at pretending to count. Love that little Sassy Pants.</div>

Halloween is a must at our house. We've been getting lazy each year with setting up decorations, and what-not. But never with our costumes! This year we were Mary Poppins and Bert the chimney sweep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kael was super excited to be a ninja. He had awesome swords that he slapped everybody with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Claire was Snow White. That is her favorite princess. Mostly because she loves to imitate her singing. When she was asked to sing to the birdies like Snow White, she would bust out her best, high pitched singing voice. She was the star of the night and loving every minute.</div>

Molly was the most adorable little giraffe. And was perfectly happy riding/sleeping in the stroller the entire night. </div>

Speaking of Molly,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this little butterball is 2 months already!! She is getting so chunky and I just love it!! She is still so tiny and petite but soft and squishy and covered in rolls. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is constantly smiling and happy as can be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is my little ray of sunshine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Some days are still hard.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Every time she coughs or sneezes my heart aches. I pray that we can keep her healthy. I panic inside every time someone touches her or wants to hold her. Every time we leave the house I fear she'll catch something. I feel like a crazy mama bear, ready to claw someones face off, if they cough or sneezed in her general direction. I worry that our insurance won't cover something or we won't be able to afford her care. I cry for the struggles and battles that she will have to face.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I want to scream at the universe and blame somebody.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
And then I see her <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><i>smile</i></span>. That beautiful glowing smile. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
And I remember she isn't alone. I'm not alone. We are not alone.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
When she smiles it's like she's telling me, "Mom.... Don't worry. We are strong. We are fighters and we can do this. Smile and be happy, mom."</div>

Camping is what we do. Every year we go on several camping trips. We go just our small little family, we go with extended family, we go with friends, we go as a couple, we go for a long time or just a short overnighter. Camping is what we do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year, we went camping once...... tragic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seems every time we tried to go something was going on. We have two family reunions that we go camping for and we didn't get to go to those either. Missed one because of work and the other because I had a two day old baby. People think I'm crazy for wanting to go camping while I'm pregnant. But I love getting out of the valley to enjoy nature and cool weather. Marshmellows, campfires, dutch oven cooking, naps, games. Love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Parents decided last year that they were going to start a little family reunion of their own and go the weekend after general conference every year. We went last year and were planning the trip for this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally.... we were going camping!! For 5 days!!!! Yippee!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so looking forward to this trip. It was a much needed escape. It was the craziest weather ever on a camping trip, but it was perfect. The day we got up there is was super windy and a storm was rolling in. About 2am the rain started and never let up. It just kept coming down with a crazy vengeance. Finally it seemed to have stopped but when we woke up that morning. We found it hadn't stopped but it had turned to snow! What?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My kids were dying! They love the snow! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It snowed most of that day then by the next day it was warmer and the snow was melting. We thought it was going to be a muddy mess but it dried up by the third day.</div>

Molly stayed toasty warm the whole time. I was worried she was going to freeze but she was perfect the whole time minus the night I drank hot chocolate. It gave her a bad tummy ache. My bad.</div>

And of course the kids loved riding quads. We learned that Claire is a little dare devil and Kael is a chicken. She would yell go faster and lean into it. When you would go fast she would just squeal with delight and say do it again. </div>

We all got good and dirty. And even though we didn't get to go on any other camping trips this year this one definitely made up for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We blessed Molly today. It was such a sweet and special day. I was worried I was going to be an emotional wreck but I held it together. It was so awesome being surrounded by friends and family. I thought I would share a sweet little experience from the day. Chase did a wonderful job with her blessing and I felt at peace while he talked. After the meeting, as we were all walking out the door I was stopped by my bishop. He told me that while Chase was talking and said he blessed that she would be able to overcome and fight off any infections and illnesses, Molly opened her eyes and smiled. This melted my heart. I know that she will get sick eventually and it will probably get scary at times. But this little memory will be with me always and help me get through the burden of having to watch her fight. She is strong. She is a fighter. And she know's it.</div>

Many people asked me who she looked like today. I think she mostly looks like Kael with touches of Claire. Here are some comparisons..... You be the judge.</div>

Not so much a good thing but a turn we have to take. Molly was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at only one week old. I'll never forget the moment when that devastating news was delivered. Molly had been up most the night and my sweet husband took her and the other kids and kept them busy while I grabbed some sleep before he had to leave for his morning class. He came in and gently woke me while he told me the doctor called and said Molly has CF. I bolted up and exclaimed, "What?!" Praying I had heard wrong. He repeated it again with sadness in his eyes. I broke down and sobbed because I knew this was a turning point. I knew that my poor little girl was going to have to fight for her life everyday. Nothing was going to be the same for her or anyone else in our little family. I have personally seen how this disease can consume a persons life and I didn't want my baby to have to go through this. Most of that day I just cried and felt sorry for Molly and the life she was going to have. The next day I decided that being sad wasn't going to help anybody. My kids needed their mom to be strong, especially Molly. We met with the her CF doctors at Phoenix Children's Hospital a couple days later started her on enzymes and vitamins. They made sure when we left there we understood what CF was, how it affected Molly and how to take care of her. I left there feeling overwhelmed but comforted. I know that this illness can be so ugly at times. But it can also be a great strength to her and she can go on to have a normal life. Cystic Fibrosis is a part of her and our lives now but it's not going to dictate who she is.<br />
<br />
Molly has been my unique baby from day one. In the beginning, I had some spotting and thought I was going to miscarry. Then I have round ligament pain the was so awful that I went into the ER because I didn't know what it was. I made it the rest of the time with no more complications and felt pretty good. That ninth month I was so tired of being pregnant for sure but I wasn't completely miserable like I was with the others. We didn't know the gender of the baby so that was super exciting!! The day before I had her, I was having some contractions that were about 10-5 minutes apart. I knew they were real contractions but was still worried that they were going to go away like they had been doing. But they stuck around all day and into the night. I woke up that morning still having contractions and needed to use the restroom. I was lazy and didn't want to get out of bed yet. Can you blame me, it was 5am. Still in a fog, I felt a 'pop' them a small gush. I thought, "oh crap, I think my water just broke!" I sat up and more 'gush'.... Oh yeah, I definitely think it broke. I ran to the bathroom, still thinking it might just be me peeing my pants. Sat down on the toilet and BIG gush. Yup that would be the rest of the 'water' so I hollered at Chase from the bathroom that my water had broke. He bolted out of bed and started getting ready. I was kind of disappointed because my other labors were so long and I didn't want to sit at the hospital forever again. I noticed now that my contractions were getting stronger and closer together. I figured I would take a shower, get ready then call the doctor. I called my mom to arrange to drop off the kids then I finally called the doctor. She of course said that she wanted me to go in and check to make sure the baby was doing ok with the contractions. I still took my time but noticed that the contractions were getting pretty strong. Once we were finally loaded up to go I was having a hard time breathing through the contractions so we rushed to my mom's to drop off the kids. My mom took one look at me during a contraction and said you better get your butt to the hospital. She knew I was going to try and do this drug-free but I was having a hard time and it had only been an hour since my water broke. We hurried on our way, but when we got to the freeway it was packed with traffic. I was trying so hard to focus and breath through the pain. I was doing ok until about halfway there. I told Chase I don't know if I was going to be able to handle another 10 hours of this pain. About five minutes from arriving at the hospital I could feel the baby moving into my pelvis and the contractions were now about 45 seconds to a minute apart. I was in transition but didn't know it. I was crying telling Chase there is no way I'm doing this drug-free. I was panicking and not handling the contractions well. I thought I was going to hinder my body from progressing and I knew I was causing myself more pain by not staying calm. As we pulled up to the door I told him just to park by the door so we could run in, I was just finishing a contraction and wanted to get in there before another one came. As soon as we got to the front desk another whopper hit and I dropped to the floor. Trying to rock my hips and keep calm. I could hear people in the waiting room shouting encouragements because they knew I was in the zone. Poor Chase didn't know want to do, he didn't want to leave me but knew we needed to grab somebody quick. I just told him go get somebody. A doctor walked over and asked what I needed, Chase ran up and said they were coming with a wheelchair. My contraction finished and they helped me up. I said screw the wheelchair just get me to the room. So we waddled to the room and I asked to get in the shower. They said no because they needed to check me and monitor me to see what was going on. I just kept thinking I still have forever I just need to shower to calm myself down. They got me on the bed and checked me real quick between contractions, I was at an eight. I asked for drugs and they said no. Then I begged for a shower and the kept saying they needed to monitor me longer. I had one nurse who yelled at me the whole time trying to tell me what to do and I just yelled back and told her no. She wanted me to just lay on the bed while they tried to hook me up to everything. That was not going to happen!! The other nurse I had was wonderful and she stayed calm and let me do my thing. She told me things to help me focus and worked with me. They kept trying to do my Hep-loc but my contractions were so close together that they were worried I was going to blow it. Finally they got it in but I started feeling pushy. They panicked and told me how to breath through it because the doctor still wasn't there and I would lay down so they could check me again. Finally the doctor showed up and she checked me between a contraction and said I was a ten. Because I had begged for some kind of pain relief they were waiting for the "epidural doctor" to come but he was still wasn't there. My doctor said I was ready let's turn over and start pushing this baby out. This whole time I felt like my brain was no longer with my body. But some how I was able to focus enough to lay down and start pushing. I just remember the contractions were awful but the pushing was such a relief. I just tried so hard to focus on my pushing because that was all I could do. I pushed for 20 minutes and the epidural guy finally showed up. He was no longer needed, I was doing it. I was still in disbelief. But I was pushing my baby out. I finally got her head out and they said one more push and your done. As they pulled her up, I opened my eyes and saw her for the first time. I saw that she was a girl and shouted that out. Everybody laughed and said they forgot to check. They confirmed she was a girl and laid her on me. I was still in such a daze and could not believe that I didn't end up with surgery! She was a tiny 6lbs 9oz and 18 inches long. She looked just like her brother. I looked at the clock and she was born at 8:57am. a mere 4 hours of labor and only an hour and a half of it was at the hospital. It was a crazy intense experience but totally worth it.<br />
<br />
I got to be there for her first moments, joking around with my awesome nurses, watching her get her first bath and talking with my honey. We called all the family and let them know we had a girl. We thought about what we should name her and then decided on Molly Jean. 24 hours later I was checking out and on our way home.<br />
<br />
Here we are almost a month later and life has changed drastically. Life with a newborn is busy but add in the CF and it makes it even busier. Before every feeding I have to give her enzymes with applesauce, I have to make sure she gets salt each day and extra vitamins. This last week, we started doing her percussions. Once she's a little older we will need to add in the breathing treatments.<br />
<br />
Life with a CF baby has been crazy but I wouldn't change it for the world. We love our little miss Molly and are so excited to see her grow.<br />

I'm not doing so good with my updates. I'm way behind. I've been trying to play catch up on all my picture books and it's putting me behind on my current stuff. I haven't been taking many pictures recently because my wonderful daughter broke my favorite lens. It's only an excuse but you know. Anyways here's some of my fav pics from my phone that I took recently.<br />
<br />
<br />
Claire wanted me to trim her nails for her. If she had it her way we would paint and trim our nails everyday. I'm excited to take her to a nail salon when she's older to get a pedicure for the first time. That's a long way away but still fun to think about. Anyway, when I was done with her nails she said, "your turn mom!!" So she pretended to trim my nails for me. Such a sweetie.<br />

We took a trip up to the snow again this year. I wish we had more time to go up. If we had it my way we would go every other weekend till the snow was gone. But alas, time is short and we don't have the time to do that.<br />

Claire loves to clean. She definitly doesn't get that from me. But regardless it's super cute that she gets excited about cleaning. We were preparing dinner in the kitchen the other day and she drug Kael's chair from his room into the kitchen plopped in front of our garbage can and proceeded to clean it with a scrubby. Can't wait till she's older and can actually clean more.<br />

Kael is still obsessed with tv and video games. He plays without end over at my moms house cause at home he is extremely limited with electronic time. I'm a mean mom I know but get over it. :)<br />

I chopped my hair off recently. Not really what I wanted to do, but I needed it bad. My hair was so damaged and gross. At least now when it grows out it will be better.<br />

Chase is weird as always. That's why I love him. We found this awesome treasure when we went shopping for a new snow coat for me. I found a coat and he found this..... what more can I say, right?<br />

I love this picture. Kael is such a cute kid. He wants to be like his daddy so much. Chase has been practicing with his bow hunting in the backyard. I strongly disapprove of the kids being in the backyard when he is doing that stuff but this happened without me knowing until he text me this picture. Turd. Anyways, Chase let Kael practice shooting deers with him. Such a cutie. I don't know if he is really going to like hunting when he is older cause he loves animals so much. He is like me in that aspect. You can't kill unless you eat it. That's my rule. We will see if he has the heart to really shoot a deer when he's older.<br />

Well I think I'm ok to share now. I'm pregnant again. I am 13 weeks now and I've had lots of appointments and three ultrasounds since Christmas. (the day I found out I was pregnant again) I'm not entering my fourth month/second trimester and my risk of miscarriage is really low so I feel ok telling ppl now. I had some scares in the beginning but seems like things are going good and the way they are suppose to. I had some bleeding in the beginning and we were worried I was miscarrying again. They still don't know what caused the bleeding but I'm fine and so is the baby. Then I lost all my pregnancy symptoms. I switched prenatal vitamins so they think that is why. We did another ultrasound to make sure and things were fine. Then at my last appt my doctor just wanted to do another ultrasound more as a peace of mind to make sure things were still going well. Things are good so I'm excited to move forward now. We are not going to find out what the baby's sex is this time. We figured we have one of each and it would be fun to have it be a surprise. Well at least I thought it would be fun. Chase wants to know but he's come to terms with not knowing. I'm due September 4th. Hopefully it will go fast.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ah... The joys of pregnancy. I have had for pregnancies now. And every single one I have ended up in the hospital for one reason or another, before my due date. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first pregnancy was a miscarriage. I decided to let my body due the natural thing and pass the baby on it's own. I lost so much blood too fast and ended up in the ER worried I was going to need a blood transfusion. Luckily I didn't and everything passed ok and I healed the way I needed too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Second pregnancy was Kael. I had extremely high blood pressure and bladder infections galore. I ended up in triage several times for pre term contractions due to the infections and blood pressure. Baby was always fine but my dang body was just not happy about being pregnant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Third pregnancy went pretty uneventful for quite a while. No infections. No blood pressure problems. I was just miserable because I was not happy about having a baby use my lungs as a pillow or a soccer ball. Then Chase went to the lake ALL DAY. And of course things always seem to go wrong when my poor husband leaves. Anyone who's been to the lake knows how hard it is to get calls. So I'm hanging out with Kael doing some cleaning and I'm having some contractions. I contract my entire pregnancy so I'm not too worried until I realize they are starting to get more consistent. I lay down, drink some water and say a little prayer. Well a few hours later they are still really consistent, so I try to call Chase and have no luck. I call my mom to watch Kael and I go into triage. I find out that I'm having consistent contractions and I have a bladder infection. CRAP!! So I only ended up in triage a few times with Claire's pregnancy for pre term contractions and bladder infections but I still ended up there anyways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now my fourth pregnancy. The moment I found out I was pregnant I had this gloomy, negative feeling. Like something just wasn't right. It was really weird. I just felt like something was wrong, but I didn't have any signs or anything to justify the feeling. I thought maybe I'm just being paranoid and negative. We went to the doctor and we did an ultrasound. We couldn't find the baby. Ugh. Really I'm having a false pregnancy? Finally, way up in the freaking corner there was the baby. Heartbeat at all. Lil' turd was playing hide n' seek. So we did blood work, measured and did all that prenatal stuff to make sure everything was fine. Everything was fine. No red flags. Nothing was wrong. So since I was gaining weight like a champ and feeling sick as a dog. I decided it was ok to start telling people I was expecting. I was started to get comfortable with the idea of being pregnant and the feeling of dread was going away. I've been working my butt off working out and dieting. I would weigh myself every morning to keep me motivated. Some ppl think I'm nuts for weighing myself everyday, but for me it kept me motivated. I wake up go pee and then weigh myself. I would look at the scale and see no progress or a pound lighter. If I was a pound lighter I would be happy and continue working hard. If I saw no progress or weight gain I would tell myself ok you need to do better today and I would push my self harder that day. Anyways I continued this routine after I got pregnant. I don't know why I just did. I wasn't dieting anymore. But I was still working out. I guess it was just habit. Anyways, I watched my weight climb and climb and climb. ugh. all that hard work. poop. So anyways, a week before the miscarriage I woke up and did my morning routine of weighing myself. I lost a pound. huh? Ok..... maybe I'm finally slowing down with the weigh gain. Next day. Lost another pound. Ok... maybe the switch from dieting to no dieting caused me to gain weight really fast and now I'm leveling out. Next day. I weighed the same. Ok things are fine. I did notice I was starting to have more good days than sick days but I figured it's cause I was getting ready to enter my second trimester and with my other pregnancies as soon as week 13 rolled around I wasn't sick any more. So again I didn't think anything of it and I had a doctor's appt coming up so I figured I was just talk to her about it then. Also I've been keeping my bladder infections in control since I started using some natural remedies. So I wasn't worried about that either. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then Sunday morning rolls around. I am officially 12 weeks pregnant. We have early church so we get up and everything seems fine. I notice I am cramping a little bit but nothing different than what I normally feel. So no red flags. We sit in sacrament meeting, enjoy the talks and still nothing wrong. After I help Chase take the kids to class, give them their hugs and kisses and send them on their way. I told Chase I was going to hit the bathroom before sunday school. That's when it happened. I was bleeding. I knew what is was. I was miscarrying. I just started sobbing. Luckily no one was in there. I panicked and tried to find Chase. I couldn't so I went to go get my kids out of class. We needed to get to the ER fast to find out what was wrong. At this point I'm still sobbing and in a frenzied panic to get the hey out of there. One of my friends saw me and I told her what was happening. She said go find Chase and I'll get your kids. So I did. She brought my kids to me as I had just found Chase. I told him what was happening. We went home changed and called my mom. She took the kids and we headed to his dad for a blessing. I had called the doc on the way there. She called me back and calmed me down and said it might not be a miscarriage. But I still knew. So after I talked to her she said lets wait it out and see if the bleeding stops before you come in. I got a blessing. I still knew. The baby was gone. I got a wonderful blessing that instantly made my heart feel better. I knew no matter what everything would be ok. I knew I was losing the baby but I was ok and everything was going to be ok. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went back to my mom's to wait a little while. The bleeding started to stop. So we took the kids home to eat lunch and nap. As soon as I got home the cramping started to feel different. There was no more bleeding but these cramps were definitely different. I knew we needed to go into the ER. We decided to eat dinner then head in. I packed the kids some pjs just in case we were there a really long time. Oh and we definitely were. We waited three hours in the waiting room. Luckily they did my blood work and all that stuff before we got back to a room so we wouldn't have to wait long after we got back there. But it was still such a horrible wait. I cramped the entire time I was in there. I felt like I was in labor. Well I was. Just at 12 weeks with a dead baby instead of 40 weeks with a healthy baby. I lost my mucus plug and I lost it. I just started sobbing because I just didn't want to do this again. My baby was gone and I didn't want to feel that loss again. We continued to wait in the waiting room and then it hit me. The flood. Seriously there is no other way to describe it. I cursed and told Chase it was starting and if I didn't get into the bathroom right now it's going to be all over the floor. He ran to the nurses station to let them know and I ran to the bathroom. The nurse came and got me and they took me straight back to a room. I was loosing so much blood it was insane. I was so worried that because I was further along that it was going to be worse than last time and I was just panicking. I knew I wasn't going to be able to handle it. Finally after more waiting and checking and talking and labs. The told me I was miscarrying. DUH. I'm sitting on a bed in a puddle of my own blood (sorry gross, I know) but seriously I was so annoyed with this idiot ER doctor who put me thru unnecessary physical pain to tell me something I already knew. I told them to call my doctor now. So they did. She came in and we decided the best thing was to do an emergency D&C surgery. So they drugged me up and checked my cervix to make sure that was the right decision. Doctor said good to go and then they took me to the OR prep room. By this point I'm loopy with relaxing drugs. I had gas and I was so worried I was going to fart during surgery. Ha ha. Me and Chase giggled and made stupid jokes to lighten the mood. This made me feel so much better. They cleaned me up and had me sign papers and explained how things were going to go. Then they rolled me to the operating room and I kissed Chase good-bye. They told me to slide my booty over to the operating table and then the last thing I remember is hearing all the people walking around and moving me and hooking me up to stuff and setting things up. They told me to take deep breaths and when I wake up it will all be over. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I woke up to some nurses and Chase talking to me. My throat felt like I had a tube shoved down it, which it probably did, and I was so tired and dizzy. Everytime I opened my eyes the room would feel like it was spinning and the lights felt so freaking bright. I remember them telling me things and I would say something stupid and I would hear Chase laugh. Apparently I thought I was a comedian and was telling jokes. Ha, ha. Chase was the only one there to hear and laugh at my jokes though. I remember only bits and pieces but I was pretty dang funny if I do say so myself. They asked me where my clothes were so they could help my get dressed. They were covered in blood so they gave me some awesome paper scrubs to ride home in. By this time it was three in the morning. The ride home was awful. The movement made me so sick. As soon as I got home I yarffed. Then I crawled into bed and was gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This whole week has been such a roller coaster. Claire's birthday was Monday and we were going to have a party for her. I felt so bad that we had to cancel. I felt great physically Monday so I figured we would just have a party for her Tuesday so we could have a happy day for her. Tuesday I woke up and I felt like I was hit by a train. I was so freaking sore. My back hurt, my neck hurt and my arms hurt. I had a red stripe on my arm where the IV was and we were worried I had a blood clot or infection. I called the doc and made appt for the next day. We still had the birthday party that night and I'm glad we did cause it was nice to see ppl and visit and not think about what had happened. At my appt the next day my IV site was fine just a funny reaction to the tape. But I got to ask her some questions about the surgery. She said it was a good thing we did the D&C and the baby looked like it died at about 10 to 11 weeks. Which was when things felt different. She said continue to rest and heal.<br />
So many people from my ward had heard about what happened and called and shared their love and kindness. I feel so loved. Friends and family and ward members have helped me and just made me feel so special. I thank everyone for all their prayers, love and kindness. I hate talking about what happened. It makes me angry that my baby died. I'm so sad and hurt. I'm grieving for a loss that I never really got to have. Miscarriages are so hard to go thru. You feel like your child died. Which it did but at the same time it wasn't really big enough to be considered a child medically. But as a women you feel love for this unborn child the moment you pee on that stick. Your heart makes room for this new love in your life. And then it's just gone in a flash. And your left sorting out all the extra hormones and feelings. The church doesn't have a lot of answers on the topic either. So your left sorting thru everything on your own. And that's really hard. It's really hard to be positive and look for the blessing in such a horrible experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But my reason for expressing all my feelings is I wanted to remember what I learned this week from this experience. I was dreading Sunday. People knew what had happened, not everybody but enough to make me feel like I couldn't face all the, "how are your feeling" and "are you ok" questions. Because I was barely holding it together and I knew if anyone asked me those questions I would just lose it. But I knew that I needed to go. I needed to move on and forward. My Heavenly Father blessed me with kindness so many times this week and turning my back on Him because I couldn't face people is a pretty lame excuse. So I went. I felt His love so strong. Those talks were for me, those lessons were for me. He knew I needed to hear everything that was talked about. He knew how much it would touch my heart and give me strength. There was so much talk about service. The Lord serves us because He loves us. We serve others because we love them. People are strengthened because of service and love. Mosiah 2:17 'And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of you God.' Wether you are a member or not people need to feel loved. It's how we survive our trials. We need to know that we are not alone in our suffering and that someone loves and cares about us. Serving others blesses not only their lives, but your own as well. I love to bring dinner to those who need it. It makes me feel like I did something useful in helping someone other than just offering. But just offering is just as important too. All those people who offered help made me feel so loved that they were just thinking of me and wanted to offer kindness. That alone was enough for me. That alone has helped me get thru this week. Knowing that I am loved. As much as I hate all the attention and people asking questions. Just the fact that they came over or called or just gave me a hug or just offered help made my burden seem a little lighter. God loves everyone. We are not alone in our trials. He is always there when we need Him. In relief society they gave us a challenge, pray so that you know when you can serve someone. So I challenge you to do the same. Don't just pray for someone to serve, pray that you will know when someone needs to be served. It could be that you see someone at the store who might need a little help. Or you just have this feeling to bring a treat over to someone in your neighborhood. Anything. Serve each other and you will bless others and you will feel of Gods love. He is real and so is His love.</div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
Ok, so blogging hasn't been on my list of things to do lately. My list is just too dang big and updating our family happenings is on the bottom of the list. The kids are napping and I have no desire to do anything at the moment so here I am. I have been horrible at taking pictures lately. So my goal since the holidays are right around the corner is to be better.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
Me and Chase have started school this semester. Yes, me too!! Chase is at ASU finishing up his pre med stuff. He takes the MCAT this summer and we start the application process. Crazy it takes a whole year to do. But I'm excited that this chapter in our life is finally coming to a close. Next chapter.... MEDICAL SCHOOL!!!!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
We had a goal of staying driving range of no more than 14 hrs away from Mesa, AZ so that we can be close to family. So that really help narrow down the massive list of schools we had to filter threw. We have a good count of 10 schools right now from California to Nebraska to Texas. Our obvious first choice is to stay here in good ol' Arizona. U of A has a Phoenix campus and a Tucson campus.... ugh.... We would like to get into the Phx campus so we don't have to move but we will suck it up and go to Tucson if need be. I'm dreading Tucson because it is seriously such an ugly place. :( I know I'm mean but really... ask yourself would you move there?! Really? Anyways you can't beat the great tuition price we would get if we stayed in-state, and less debt is a big plus! We haven't really decided on a second choice yet. We like Loma Linda, CA; Aurora, CO and Omaha, NE. I know, really.... Nebraska. Well the reason behind that one is they have a campus here in AZ so for two years we would live in NE and then move back to AZ for his 2 clinical years. But that's a lot of moving too. So who knows where we will end up. All I know is we will eventually have to move. Because when he does his residency there are no options in AZ and not a lot of openings anywhere else. So we won't get a much of a choice. We'll gladly take anything.</div>

Then there's my school. Good ol' MCC. I'm learning how to become a professional seamstress. I'm only able to take a couple classes since Chase is in school full-time. But I really love my classes. I seriously love sewing and constructing clothes. I've been told I have a real talent for it and it's something I could do from home. So I'm super excited to learn more about it. My classes are so stinkin' easy I'm annoyed I didn't do this sooner. I'm just so excited about it though!! My great grandma was an amazing seamstress and I feel honored to have gotten some of her talent and put it to good use. Any one ever want to learn some basic sewing let me know I can help you get started it's so fun!!</div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
Then there's the pregnancy. Let's see.... I was shocked about this one. We didn't expect it this soon. And it's the worst timing too. But we will manage. I'm due April 26th right at Chase's finals and I won't be able to go to school next semester because I'll miss the whole last weeks of school. So that's a bummer but other than that we are super excited to have another adorable munchkin running around to had to our craziness. I love being a mom! Seriously it's so fun. We are such a circus and life seems ridiculous at times but we have fun.</div>

And proof of our crazies is this little girl. She is seriously a handful. She can destroy my house in no time flat all by herself. She causes more destruction than the rest of us all together. </div>

But really she is the cutest thing ever. Both of them are. They have such great lil' imaginations. Like, Claire the other day told me some wild story about a monster and a spider, and they bit her butt so she ate them and then spit them out and gave them back and shared them with the nice monster. Weirdo.</div>

Oh no worries Kael tells some awesome stories too. I love listening to them play pretend. </div>

Guess the word is starting to get out so it's time I officially spill the beans. We are expecting baby #3 on April 26th!! A bit sooner than we planned but it's all good. I'm not far along at all and not showing yet either thank goodness. All that working out paid off. I'm almost 8 weeks along and feeling quite dizzy with this one. I get dizzy then it makes me nauseous. But other than that I'm feeling pretty good. We aren't going to find out what we are having with this one. We thought it would be fun leaving it a surprise. My guess is a girl and chase's guess is a boy (just because I think it's a girl) we will see who's right in April. <br />
<br />
Oh and Kael found a way for us to earn some money for the new baby. ;)<br />

We have been super busy and I felt like they werent getting much of our attention. So Chase and Kael made pancakes together this morning and then as a family we tried a new recipe for jello cookies. The dough can be used as playdough then you make them in to cookies when your done. We didn't bake the kids dough cause they were a little iffy. The cookies tasted nummy though. The kids had so much fun playing with the dough and they were happy to get some much needed attention. Later that night we visited nana and papa and they decided to snuggle up in their bed to watch cartoons.<br />

When you feel like garbage the last thing you want to do is clean and cook. Anyways Kael found some scissors some how or maybe it was Claire cause she can find just about anything she shouldn't. Either way Kael ended up with the scissors and decided to cut some hair. His and Claire's!! It could've been so much worse but luckily it wasn't. He basically scalped the front of his head so we had to go to nana's to give him super duper short buzz. Claire on the other hand, we kept find long chucks of hair all over the place but couldn't find where it was cut. So I was thinking we were in the clear. Well at dinner time I was sitting next to her and she had a wild short chunk of hair sticking out. She had huge pieces of hair missing but we lucked out and it's covered by a top layer. Then while we were at nana's house getting Kael's hair fixed he was running around with the dog being his crazy, clutsy self and ran into the cabinets and his forehead collided with the counter. He split open his head pretty good. We butterflied him up and he's good as new. Crazy boy. Hopefully we don't have any more days like this for a while.<br />

She wants to feed it real food, change its diaper and all that good stuff. I heard her playing in her room quietly. The quiet should've been my red flag. Well she came and said i change baby poop. She was covered from head to toe in baby powder. And so was her baby. ;)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok. Seriously I just love this little boy. He has such a tender little heart and he is just so dang smart. I just had to do a post just about him. I love Claire too. But Kael is my special boy, and if all my kids were just like him I would have a million of them. Don't get me wrong Claire is beautiful and just as special. With Claire being the baby, sometimes I forget about Kael and making sure he gets special attention. Claire has gotten extra attention because she was a newborn and then a fussy and BUSY baby and now an even BUSIER toddler. So Kael gets left in her dust a lot of the time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Recently though, Kael has quit taking naps. Not everyday is napless, but most of them are. Somedays he just needs that nap, or maybe just I do. I can't believe I have been able to keep him taking naps and he is 3 1/2!! Anyways, while Claire is napping, me and him have some time together. Some days we color quietly and others he plays in his room and I read a book. I have <i>really</i> been enjoying our 'quiet' time together recently because he will tell me stories. He will bring me toys and tell me stories about them or we will just talk and then he starts making up some fun stuff. Lately his stories have been about church. He loves primary. He will tell me tell me about what he learns in primary and then adds his own little flare in the parts he can't remember. I love listening to him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of his more recent stories was about Jesus and how he is a hero.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He told me that Jesus is a hero because he keeps the booger man away and keeps us safe. And we pray to Him to talk to Him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has also been extremely obsessed with the iPad and wanting to buy new games. I told him we could buy the games because we didn't have money to pay for it. This is usually the answer he gets when we are in the store and wants a toy. He tells me, well we need to get money. I told him that it has to be earned, you have to work for it, that's why daddy goes to work. This is usually where the conversation ends. But this time he went and found a quarter in our room, gives it too me and says, "Look, here is some money, I found it, now we can buy the game." I just laughed. He was pretty upset with me that I wouldn't use his money to buy him the game. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves animals. I wish we could get him a dog or a kitty. Or even some chickens. I would love me some chickens and their delicious eggs. Anywho. He actually asked if he could have a puppy the other day. Shhh don't tell Chase. Unfortunately, animals are not in the cards for a while. At least until we figure out what the plan is with medical school. Before Claire was born Kael would play with my mom's dog and would tell us Rocky is his buddy. We went fishing and the fish were his friends. And BUGS are his friends too. There was a fly buzzing around the house the other day while we were eating lunch. It landed on Kael and he said, "look mom he wants to be my friend" Of course I said gross and shoo'd it away. Then it tried to land on his food and I did the same. Kael told me, 'but mom he wants to share my food with me.' I told him flys are dirty we don't share food with them. And as serious as he could be he said, 'Well then we need to give him a bath so he's not dirty.' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bahahaha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See, isn't he just the funniest, most wonderful, little boy. He seriously cracks me up on a daily basis. He also can drive me bonkers with his non-stop-talking. But I just love him to pieces. He is my most favorite little boy, and I feel so blessed that he is in my life and choose me to be his mother.</div>

Ok... So I've come to the conclusion that my children are.... I guess... how do you say... well they are just plain ol' weirdos! Ha ha. Seriously. Especially Claire. But oh don't worry Kael comes in as a close second. Want proof?</div>

Claire decided at my mom's one night that she was sleepy. So she laid on the rug in the middle of the kitchen and 'tucked' herself in. She thought she was pretty hot stuff. And this is just <b>one</b> of the weird things she does.</div>

Kael on the other hand is having a hard time understanding that girls only wear 'pretties.' He doesn't understand why boys and girls are different and I just don't want to even go there right now so when he asks I'll give in. He'll wear necklaces and bracelettes every now and then. But one night he wanted me to put hair ties in his hair. I tried to explain that his hair was too short that it couldn't be done. He argued that indeed it could be done that I just had to try. So.... I figured what the heck. So I put some lil' pony tails in his hair and he was happy. Shortly after he got a buzz... daddy insisted.</div>

So, yes. My children are weird. Claire likes to just randomly stop when she is walking somewhere, bend over and lift one leg in air and strike a pose. She has does this move since she could walk. She loves to talk to herself. One night driving home, she had a 15 minute conversation with herself. She would say,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'dee dee'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'noooo'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'doo doo'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'noooo'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'bee bee'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'noooo'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'nah nah'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'noooo'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And this conversation went on like this for 15 minutes no joke. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anytime she hears <i>any</i> kind of music she starts dancing. She will be mid sentence and if she hears some tunes she busts a move. It could just be a jingle on tv and she will just start shakin' her booty. She has a huge fascination with body parts. Even the inappropriate ones. Oh yeah. And she thinks she's suppose to pee like a boy. I've tried to introduce potty training to her a bit. I've had Kael help me show her going potty on the toilet is fun. But this backfired and now she thinks she is suppose to stand up and pee. She will run into the bathroom and say potty potty. So I follow her in there and she proceeds to lift her shirt, lift the toilet seat, and lean her belly up against the toilet and 'pretends' to pee. Ummm. How to explain that to a toddler? Still working on that one. She loves her brother so much though. She seriously wants to do everything he does. It's no wonder she is confused why she has a 'special seat' and Kael doesn't. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kael loves to tell stories. He tells the most elaborate stories. He has been really into building forts lately. He ripped off the cushions to my couch and built himself a 'temple' fort the other day. Oh and he used the comforter from his bed and my laundry basket too. He thought he was brilliant in his design. Then when he was tired of the 'temple' he took the cushions and built a com 'fort' able bridge. Oh and I didn't come up with the name either. That is exactly how he pronounced it to me. I'm pretty sure it was an accident, but it just made me laugh. He also found a 'secret hiding place' too for him and Claire. In my linen closet the bottom doesn't have anything in it. So it's just this big empty floor space. He closed the door and I could hear him telling Claire, 'this is our special hide out ok?' 'it's dark in here but its ok cause there are no monsters or bad guys' Then he got really quiet and started to freakout. He didn't realize once he closed the door he couldn't get out. Don't worry mom was there to save the day. Normally, him destroying my couch and making a mess of his bed would not make me very happy and I wouldn't allow it, but I just loved watching him think about how to built his temple fort and bridge and I just couldn't take that away from him. He is such a goofy little kid.</div>

So we were blessed and were able to attend my cousin's homecoming. I wasn't too thrilled about going back to Texas in the summer again and the looooooooooooong drive but I'm so glad we were able to go. The kids had so much fun together. Seriously they were so 100% awesome. They played so well together. Kael and Braiden were best buds. And Houston and Claire were good buddies too. I was shocked because Claire is such a brat and Houston is such a Two year old. It was such a pleasant trip, I'm excited to go back..... when it's not freaking summer. haha. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We were able to go to the Gulf. I really wanted to go to the beach this summer. The kids had so much fun when we went in California. Let me tell you.... The Gulf is awesome!! Besides the ridiculous amounts of mosquitos we were fighting off, it was such a blast. I guess this time of year the seaweed washes up on the shore and starts to decompose. Well in California I just remember flies. Well Texas has mosquitos. A LOT of them. Swarms of them. Living in the seaweed. So it took us a while to find a spot that didn't have any. Which of course where there were tons of other people. But it wasn't too busy so it worked out. The WATER IS WARM in the gulf. I actually got in and swam. The only time I've swam in the ocean was in Hawaii where the water is warm too. The kids loved it too. They were hardly playing in the sand at all. It was too much fun in the water.</div>

Each year my family tries to go to the lake on Memorial day. It's a bit busy but going to the lake is such a fun thing for us to do. The kids love riding in the boat. Memorial Day is usually the first trip of the summer that we do. Last year Claire was too little to do much. This year she boogie boarded and tubed. She wasn't too happy about it. Kael wasn't either. But I figured out why they weren't to fond of it. The water was cold and Claire hate cold water. Kael was scared because he didn't realize that is life vest is a floaty. So to prepare better for the next trip I took him in the pool with his life vest on. He was so excited when he realized he could float. So we are ready for the next trip. Claire on the other hand still hates the cold water. Big whimp. haha. She liked sitting on the back splashing though.</div>

Since I married Chase I have loved going to his family reunions. I think I love it so much because it reminds me of the BIG Houston reunion we used to have. And as a kid I love, love, loved them. I had so much fun with my cousins and camping. Well now it's my kids turn to have a blast. It's sad when these things start to die out. Because so many wonderful memories are built. I know the kids have way more fun than the adults and it's a lot of hard work for the adults. But to me it is so worth it because I remember as a kid how much I enjoyed these. We went fishing with both of the kids this time. Last year we only took Kael and we didn't catch anything. This year they were love the bait. Kael was so brave and picked up the fish all by himself. I thought he would freak out but he loved it. Claire hated touching them. She didn't mind looking at them but she did not what it near her.</div>
